MOST people who commented on a social media video, submitted by a Courier reader, showing Monday’s car fire at County garage remarked on the bravery of the firefighters.
Even knowing, as the fire service does, that if all the safety measures are taken at a petrol station there is unlikely to be a Hollywoodstyle fireball, it must still have been at the back of the firefighters’ minds.
The car was alight for at least seven minutes before they arrived and movies seem to suggest that this is more than enough time for the car’s own tank to go up.
